    The bearing/hub assemblies alone are nearly half the price. Price has dropped about $400 since it was first offered, but just finding this I guess you wouldn’t know.

    Doing a PreRunner to 4x4 conversion or time to replace wheel bearings is a great time to do it.

    Oh yeah, guess that would add up. Any chance of having people send in their hub to have it
    Hopefully wheel bearings aren't anywhere in my near future. But I do love this!

    The cost can be a lot more justified if you have to replace wheel bearings.. When I replaced the garbage stock wheel bearings on my 06 it cost $700 to get new bearings and have them pressed on at the local machine shop.

    With everyone talking about gas mileage savings, I traveled from Chesapeake VA to Blacksburg VA this weekend. Not sure how but averaged 17mpg going there and 20 mpg coming home.

    I wanted a TruTrac in mine, as well. Oh well, I settled on one for the rear. And put an ARB up front.

    Stupid question...what size does this make your center bore? I assume you would have to run a rim that will fit the manual hubs?

    If I can get both wheels turning in the rear I won't need 4wd as often.
